I watched "Wrestling, Dad" yesterday, and I haven't had such tears in my eyes for a long time. With the development of the plot, from the beginning of the father's unwillingness, selfishness and dictatorship, to the sorrow of the women in the village, to the achievements of the sisters, the contrast of attitudes of the villagers, and the great end of the glorious father's love of humanity. The film expresses so much that almost no one can watch it objectively.
1. Human rights.
The lower classes have no human rights. If the film shows the lack of women's rights in India, it is better to say that the human rights of the bottom society are incomplete. The fate of women in the village is to do laundry, cook, marry and have children. What about men? The national wrestling champion had to return to the village to find a stable job to support his family. Human rights are defined this way:
The essential characteristics and requirements of human rights are freedom and equality. The substance and goal of human rights are the survival and development of human beings.
There is no freedom, no equality, only survival without development. "Dad" is a national wrestling champion, but he has to give up his ideals, just to survive, which is not free; no matter the technical level, strategic vision, overall situation, or even the mind and personality of a person who is not as good as him, but is the national team coach, this is not Equality; work in a profession that you don't love, without reasonable leadership, everything is unsatisfactory, and there is no development. The lack of human rights in the bottom society is equal to men and women.
2. Tolerance
Tolerance to others is a culture. The villagers couldn't understand why "Dad" would train his daughter to wrestle, it was something unfamiliar to them: they hadn't seen it. Resistance to "otherness" is classless. In any class, there will be people who resist people who are different from themselves. If you ask me what my experience of studying abroad has brought me, I will tell you after thinking about it: everyone can have a variety of lifestyles, interests and hobbies, and what everyone does and thinks is thousands of times different. No pipelining, no standards. If there is an outside force telling you what is right and what to do, then you have lost your freedom. And the tolerance shown to people who are different from me made me feel the culture of North America. Recalling the cultural atmosphere, society, school, and family that I have been in since childhood to the present, formed a production line specializing in the production of pineapple juice, and different production lines are nothing more than changing a kind of pineapple juice, bottled, canned, and concentrated. There are one hundred percent. When I leave the factory, if I am red, other pineapple juices will laugh at me, look at him, how can he make such a disgusting color, the factory workers will also shake their heads, this is a defective product and throw it away. When I got to the trash can, I didn't have time to say: Please everyone, I was an apple before. I hope that one day everyone will be able to choose whether it is jam, juice, or ice cream. I'm not gay, but I respect other people's being; I don't like to eat offal, but I respect that you do; I have no religious beliefs, but I respect your beliefs. No one is wrong, please respect those who are different from you
3. Freedom
Only you can set yourself free. Back at the beginning of the film, "Dad" forced his two daughters to practice wrestling, in order to pursue his unfulfilled dream. Is dad right or wrong? There is a lot of controversy about this. Judging from the results, the daughter won the international championship, won the honor of belonging to the daughter, the family and the country, and even became a role model for women to assert women's rights. But what if nothing happens? Is dad right or wrong? In my opinion, "Dad" is more of a helplessness: he can't be free himself. This may also be the only way to make her daughter's life full of splendor and glory. People from poor backgrounds can better understand the sadness, helplessness, and love of their fathers, while those with superior family conditions see the dictatorship of their fathers and the helplessness of their daughters. Guaranteed social class, what to talk about freedom. Some people complain that parents help to choose majors, but parents are not helpless. You like art, but your parents gave you a mechanical report (just an analogy, no prejudice). I went to study full of indignation and was about to graduate. Looking at the frowning faces of my art classmates, I had a lot of offers in my hand. I suddenly realized that children from ordinary families must survive on their own after graduation. Some people envy the rich second generation, thinking that they can pursue what they want, they can be free but they can only compromise on life. They do have more leverage to be free: they have achieved financial freedom. But the strange thing is that the rich second generation also complained that he was completely a puppet of the family, not only could not pursue the leisurely life, chess, calligraphy and painting that he wanted, but also the burden of revitalizing the family business was placed on him, and even the marriage was arranged. Because the opposite is Wang Laowu's daughter: they are pursuing freedom of behavior. The eldest daughter who advanced to the finals of the international competition was when she was the least free. She could not lose, the pressure was greater than the mountains, and she could not gain spiritual freedom. Who is free? Maybe freedom is more of a state that you give yourself.
A lot of complaints, just do not understand the whole picture of this society.
